I thought this was all local stuff. At the top of my FOBO screen it says "FOBO SF." so my assumption is they just handle the payments and you deal with picking up your stuff. Am I wrong?

There is a large thread on DIYDrones.com re the ruling and appeal as well if anyone is interested in seeing some community reaction. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/commercial-drones-are-le...

So as expected (by me at least) the ruling has been appealed by the FAA and will go to the full NTSB so the opinion is stayed until the board rules: http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId...

Here at my little company Fighting Walrus [1] (we make a radio accessory so small commercial UAVs can be controlled via iPad) we are really excited that there has been some forward movement on the legal front. My personal view has always be

Is it going to keep you from graduating? Are you already accepted to college at this point? How badly will it hurt you? Do the math and figure that out first. It's probably not the end of the world... and next time do your homework :)

I guess they started with Ferrari because a number of the engineers down in Cupertino like to drive them. I'm not really joking :)

Thanks for that! Looks like a great read.

Someone should! My money is still on the General Fusion [1] folks (inertial confinement) to come up with something before or around when ITER gets online. They at least have a hope of being able to build functional power plants that don&#x2

Publicity stunt, sure. But this is pretty significant for youth (up to 17 years old) who will continue to get free MUNI passes. There are something like 40 school bus routes in SF and that may seem like a lot but it's really not when y

This particular plan may be a pipe dream but I think everyone is vastly underestimating the roll satellite comm will play in the next 20 years. Access to space is going to get much much cheaper and I suspect this kind of thing will become a

It's a nice little list. My one nitpick is that he referred to to the class extension [1] as an anonymous category and while it also has been called this it's generally documented as a class extension by Apple and so it makes sens

Well, I spent seven years working in IT for financial services. Way too long. I spent a number of years working as a Network Engineer for a consulting firm. Ground out a year doing QA work at Apple. I built mobile games (in 5-10 weeks each)

Are they RSUs you can sell on the open market after the cliff or options of a pre-ipo company? The calculus is pretty different in each case. Money buys flexibility and the ability to take risks with larger payoffs and that is not to be und

Um. It's great progress but while the energy that was absorbed by the target may have matched the output way more energy than that was used to produce the laser pulse and was NOT absorbed. So, we are waaaay off from more power out than

Cool. I'll sign up and check things out (my email is in profile). Our biggest pain point currently (besides having to charge cards right away) is that most online stores do not understand how shipping regions work in the US and around

Very nice. Wish I had known about this several months ago... Charging people for products that are not quite ready to ship yet really does hurt sales vs charging when it ships. Will for sure try this for our next product. Hopefully they wil

Plenty of firms large enough to require a solid network with maybe a few locations yet small enough where it does not make sense to hire someone full time. Small trading shops, hedge funds, financial advisors, VCs all come to mind.

If you have the skills to charge 125-150/hour or more you could live very comfortably on 80 hours of work a month (10-12k gross). As long as you can keep your clients happy in that amount of time. There is other overhead to this kind o
